SHAFAQNA – The Grand Ayatollah Khamenei answered a question about insect based colour additives for food.
Question: Some colour additives are derived from insects; is it allowed to buy and sell them or use them as colour additives in food production?
The Grand Ayatollah Khamenei: If the blood of those insects does not jump out and parts of the insect is not in it; then there is no problem in buying and selling or using it as colour additive for food.
